September 20, 2017 The Unbiased Writer

Grammy Award-winning cofounder of the Roots Questlove has a new book coming out. Titled Creative Quest, the book is scheduled to be released on April 24th, 2018 via Ecco. According to the publisher, Questlove‘s upcoming book is a ‘guide to living your best creative life.’ Comprised of personal wisdom on inspiration and originality, the artist shares his own life lessons and experiences. Read a statement from the publisher below:

In Creative Quest, Questlove synthesizes all the creative philosophies, lessons, and stories he’s heard from the many creators and collaborators in his life, and reflects on his own experi­ence, to advise readers and fans on how to consider creativity and where to find it. He addresses many topics — what it means to be creative, how to find a mentor and serve as an apprentice, the wisdom of maintaining a creative network, coping with critics and the foibles of success, and the specific pitfalls of contemporary culture — all in the service of guiding admirers who have followed his career and newcomers not yet acquainted with his story.

Whether discussing his own life or channeling the lessons he’s learned from forefathers such as George Clinton, collaborators like D’Angelo, or like-minded artists including Ava DuVernay, David Byrne, Björk, and others, Questlove speaks with the candor and enthusiasm that fans have come to expect. Creative Quest is many things — above all, a wise and wide-ranging con­versation around the eternal mystery of creativity.
